Super Bowl 50 sets ticket price record with $4,512 average

Super Bowl 50 just broke StubHub's record for the highest average seat price for anything, ever.

"$4,512 for average ticket price sold. Highest we've had," said Cameron Papp of StubHub, who noted that number could move slightly due to "sales adjustments."

The previous record-holder was the Floyd Mayweather - Manny Pacquiao bout last may, which brought in an average price of $4,454.

The previous NFL record was set at Super Bowl XLIX last year, when tickets were fetching $4,222. You can compare this year's current price to the past decade of Super Bowls in the slideshow above.

StubHub says they've never seen the average ticket sell for more than the $4,512 people paid to watch the Broncos and Panthers. The following slides show how the other resale prices stacked up over the last decade. less
